It's my understanding that the main reason AMEX is accepted in fewer places than MC and Visa is the fee associated with transactions. Last I heard, it was 50 cents for MC and Visa but 1 dollar for AMEX. Small businesses especially don't like this, so they just don't accept it. Knowing they have a higher fee annoys me too.
The only one I've ever had is Visa, which I'm happy with. Also, I can't think of any place I've been that accepts my Visa but not MC.
